When struggling journalist Alissa Hart is offered a fortune to impersonate a missing heiress, she believes it will be a simple job-play the role for a few weeks, collect the money, and walk away. But the moment she enters the powerful Salvatore family mansion, Alissa realizes she has stepped into a dangerous web of secrets. The real heiress, Selene Salvatore, vanished under mysterious circumstances, and not everyone in the family seems eager to find her. As Alyssa struggles to mimic Selene's life, she faces constant tests from suspicious relatives, manipulative staff, and hidden observers who seem to know more than they should. Strange letters, secret passages, and suspicious financial records begin to reveal a darker truth: Selene's disappearance may not have been an accident. Amid the growing danger, Alissa finds an unexpected ally in Brian Salvatore, whose cryptic warnings and intense gaze suggest he may be protecting her-or hiding secrets of his own. But as Alissa digs deeper, she makes a terrifying discovery: someone inside the mansion might already know she isn't the real heiress. Now trapped in a deadly game of deception, Alissa must uncover the truth about Selene before her own identity is exposed... or she becomes the next person to disappear.

This work is written by Kindeley. The text is about the devistating impacts the European colonization had on the Native Americans ,and some of the long-term effect to this day. These effects were caused by a number of factors including loss of land, diseases, attempts to force Indians to give up their religion and beliefs, and laws, which violated Native American culture. The cover of this work is not mine. It is from Pendleton Woolen Mills UK, but the work itself is mine. It is for educational purpose only and if you wish to share feel free to do so, however it will be reported if copied. I hope you learn a lot, in hope it will give you different perspective. The Native Americans are underappreciated, which deeply breaks my heart.

(Book 2) THE CLOCK OWNS YOU UPF: CONTROL The escape didn't happen. That was the problem. After a near-breakout shakes United Penitentiary Facility, Warden Joel Walsh activates CONTROL-a silent, surgical system designed not to punish, but to compress. No lockdowns. No riots. Just precision. Schedules tighten. Sleep disappears. Silence becomes policy. Inside UPF, men learn that control isn't enforced with force-it's enforced with time. As pressure mounts, a subtle flaw emerges. A hesitation. A repeatable moment where the prison blinks. It isn't an escape route. Not yet. But it's real-and once seen, it can't be unseen. Gary, James, and Chip understand the danger of knowing too much. Jason wrestles with impulse and restraint. Ray watches the system crack and waits. Bill Allen learns that intelligence is useless when no one argues back. Emilio studies patience like a weapon. And John Narramore carries secrets powerful men would kill to keep buried. Above them all, Walsh watches-measuring seconds, reactions, and intent-allowing the flaw to exist to learn who notices first. Because in UPF, the question isn't how to escape. It's who moves first when everyone knows where the weakness is. The clock never stops. It only hesitates.

In a city where the sky glows with the embers of a dying sun and steam-powered dreams shape the future, a lone wanderer steps onto the rain-slicked bridge of Aurethium-a floating metropolis of spires, airships, and secrets buried in its mechanical heart. Elias Veyne is a rogue engineer with a past he can't escape and a future he doesn't dare claim. When he's hired to repair a forgotten machine buried deep in the city's underbelly, he uncovers a secret that could either save Aurethium or bring it crashing from the skies. But he isn't the only one hunting for answers. The enigmatic Lady Seraphine, a woman with clockwork eyes and a mind sharper than any blade, has her own stake in the city's fate.

They share tender, romantic moments, always under the shadow of Ayush's mother's relentless attempts to cut short their happiness. Despite the constant trials, Amina and Ayush's bond grows stronger, their sacrifices for each other a testament to their unbreakable love.
